I think for most everyone here on TI... clothes and cars are somewhat a status symbol.
Many posters talk about their rides (ahem BTB) and I don't think any of you shop at thrift stores for your daily wardrobe.
Dress for success? There?s nothing wrong looking good. It will never hurt you. Look like a professional.
I rest my case.
Do $100 jeans make you more successful than $15 ones? Or something you're more interested in, do $200 Nikes function that much different from $25 C9 shoes from Target?
In my opinion you didn?t rest nothing.
Appearance and job performance is key in career growth. (young people remember that)
It think this is good advice, although you don't need to spend much to look good. Just put in the effort and realize it can only help your odds of advancing.
Just like other soft skills, such as communicating clearly and being punctual/dependable. It adds to the brand that you as an employee are building.
